I don’t think ISIS has the capability to produce sarin. It isn’t like making high explosives. It’s much more complex.

Again that is an assumption - you don’t think. Assumptions are at the root of this issue. There is no proof that they do not have the expertise, and there is circumstantial evidence that they got quantities of Sarin from Libya.

In the absence of an actual investigation, blaming Russia is just counter-productive.

ISIS has exceeded expectations since they first marched in a column across the desert to Mosul. They have great tacticians, excellent PR people, and a lot of highly educated people have joined up. They could get it through producing it, illegal transfer, theft, or from rogue elements in the Syrian military. Isn't it possible that a Syrian plane hit an ISIS storage area?

What nobody is talking about is President Trump was thwarted from talking to Putin and Assad because of the bogus story line about Trump favoring Russia.

I believe that is correct. And mixing the two components to create the sarin gas is not straightforward either. A bomb dropped on a binary sarin gas source is apparently not capable of performing that task.

But has there been reliable, definitive proof that it was sarin? I assume that autopsies would be required but perhaps there are other methods.
